These pancake bites are an easy breakfast idea for kids. They are ready in under 30 minutes and can be made ahead and frozen for school breakfasts or mornings when you don’t have a lot of time to make breakfast. If you’re looking for toddler breakfast ideas, back to school breakfast ideas, or quick breakfast ideas, this pancake recipe is the perfect one to try!
I love to make a big batch of these on Sundays and freeze the leftovers so we can just pop them in the microwave during the week. Our favorite part is adding in the toppings! You can add in chocolate chips, sprinkles, blueberries, or any other topping of your choice!
